When it came to the production of the piece, which was shot over three weeks in March in the small mountain towns of Nelson and Rossland, British Columbia, the challenge of bringing this creative vision to life required some serious synergies.

“This video project was one of most challenging, yet rewarding projects I’ve ever been apart of,” says, Tom Wallisch. “With so many moving pieces and unique shots and locations it was an undertaking to complete. I swear I could feel JP guiding us on the video as we shot it.”
